While traveling to play a festival in Iowa, one of the bands I play in (The Creswell Club) stopped and ate at Tecalitlan Restaurant. The food was amazing! There were plenty of vegetarian options and the food was fresh & delicious. Owner/waitress, Angelica was so warm and friendly. Great vibes and reasonable pricing!

Food was not very good. Salsa was very spicy and at least a week old. I ordered a steak meal, the steak was completely burned and chewy. The meat was grossly over salted. The rice and beans were flavorless and the rice looked as if it had been over cooked by about 2 days. Service was polite but not very attentive and seemed annoyed. Place was clean and well lit. Overall not a great experience and the food will not have me running back.

This was a yummy authentic restaurant with great food and delicious margaritas. The bathrooms and restaurant were clean. And the service was good. The birria was amazing, served with fresh lime, cilantro, and white onion like it is supposed to 😉

We love this restaurant! We come at least once a week and order various different menu items. Their Al pastor is amazing. The family that owns it is very kind and hard working.

We enjoyed our dinner here tonight. We came in with a group of eight, which can be a bit hectic. However, Angela did an excellent job. Everyone said their food was really good.

Clean restaurant with nice outgoing staff. The table sauce was really good but the chips weren’t as crispy as I like. Other people at the table really enjoyed their food. I decided to try something different and it wasn’t to my liking but that’s not their fault. The drinks are pricey and at the end of our meal we didn’t actually get a ticket or receipt. We just went up and paid and were told what we owed. Not sure if this is the normal.

This place has gone downhill since the other family that used to run things left. I ordered what they called the birria tacos and it was not what I was expecting. It didn’t come with the tortillas fried in the fat or any of the red juice you’re supposed to dip it in. It didn’t taste like anything. And the beans and rice also had no flavor at all. Paid $14 for trash.

I’m glad this wasn’t my first experience with Mexican food. Someone mentioned the portions were smaller. Heck I couldn’t get down what they brought me. Sad part is I had to pay for it. Not sure what the problem is. Food was either blan or just hot. I guess the hot is to stun your taste buds so you can’t taste how bland the rest of the food is.
